What did the Prophet Muhammad said about the number of bones and joints?

Decoding the verses of the Holy Quran

Bone are one of the hardest structure present in the body. They give the body its shape and structure, help us to move and most importantly they have bone marrow which produces the blood cells. If we talk about the development of bones and muscles during embryonic stage then Chapter 23 of the Holy Quran talks about their development. The verse 12-14 state that bones (Izam) are formed first, and then flesh (muscles, Lahm) cover the bones.

“then We developed the drop into a clinging clot, then developed the clot into a lump ˹of flesh˺, then developed the lump into bones, then clothed the bones with flesh, then We brought it into being as a new creation.So Blessed is Allah, the Best of Creators’’

Chapter 23 (Surah Al-Mu’minun) verse 14
